Ganeshotsav is a joyous Hindu festival that honors Lord Ganesha, the elephant-headed deity of wisdom and prosperity

The auspicious occasion is marked by the installation (Sthapana) of Ganesha idols in homes and public spaces, followed by vibrant processions

Ganeshotsav is celebrated for 10 days, Ganpati Visarjan that marks the final ritual, involving the immersion of the Ganesha idol into water bodies

Amidst this processional immersion, the air resounds with chants of "Ganpati Bappa Morya, Purchya Varshi Laukariya" (Hail Lord Ganpati, come quickly next year)

The Ganpati Visarjan is observed with great fervor throughout Mumbai and various regions of Maharashtra
